Edmunds custom heads
Eddie Edmunds was a mechanic in Portland, Oregon in the 1930s when he started developing and manufacturing intake manifolds and performance heads. After several years of manufacturing there he moved to Southern California where there were more mold makers and aluminum casting. He made these parts for many engines but eventually went bankrupt in the late 1940s. It's a wonder these parts still turn up. After that his focus changed to installing air conditioning units in cars. Apparently, he passed away in 1969.

Thanks, Mr G. How cruel that we can't see the undersides too! --rats
My very first car was a used 1947 Merc coupe that had Edmunds heads. The ones shown are for 49' and later which had the water ports in the front as opposed to the earlier ones in the center. Those were the days, mid 50's, $100 cars and 25 cent gas.
Thank you for identifying them!
